Ginebra used a rip-roaring start to bury the Batang Pier early and be on cruise control the rest of the way as the Gin Kings leveled their best-of-three PBA Governors’ Cup series after two games and dealt the enemy a big blow in confidence at Smart Araneta Coliseum in Cubao. “I thought we came in with a lot of playoff intensity this time,” said coach Tim Cone, who blasted his charges on Saturday after a 34-point loss.Stanley Pringle had 23 points, LA Tenorio dropped 20 with four others scoring twin digits in a balanced scoring attack that did not require Justin Brownlee to dominate the offense.
The winner of this series will advance to face the survivor of the TNT-Meralco match-up, which the KaTropa lead after an authoritative 103-94 victory on Sunday.That night, the KaTropa swarmed the Bolts, with their defense proving to be most unforgiving in the middle quarters as TNT not only grabbed a 1-0 lead but also gained a lot of confidence moving forward considering how masterfully it handled Meralco.“We still have to work on our defense,” he told scribes after the contest.
